Unscrambler X 10.3 multivariate data analysis and design of experiments software now offers better plotting tools, sample selection techniques, a new spectroscopic transformation, an improved DoE module and better handling of process data. Includes exploratory data analysis, regression and classification methods, predictive modeling, and descriptive statistics. Units and ranges can be defined and saved with PLSR, PCR, MLR and PCA models for assigning multiple input parameters; can set alarm and warning limits for PLSR, PCR, MLR and PCA models; has an optional plug-in enabling direct import from OPC DA servers and OSISoft PI databases. Includes interactive response surface plots in the DoE module. D-optimal designs in the DoE module have been enhanced. Has 2D-scatter plots automatically grouped by first category variable in data tables, sample labeling by data value, and new outlier plots with F-residuals. Sample selection tools now include the Kennard-Stone method. A spectroscopic attenuated total reflectance transformation has been added to correct for wavelength-dependent light penetration effects in IR spectroscopy.
